Stan's List

PC Mag has reviewed Apple’s sweet new quad-processor PowerMac G5 and it easily tops the best numbers posted by a PC. What’s surprising is the relative margin of victory:

“The Quad G5 got the highest score we’ve ever seen on the CPU-stressing CineBench rendering test: 1,104. The Pentium EE840 overclocked to 3.6 GHz recently got a 667, and an Athlon 64 4800+ overclocked to 2.7 GHz scored 775. CineBench is a multithreaded app, so the more cores or threads your system can handle, the more efficiently your workload gets done.”
